Bellydance Classes in SouthEastern PA (plus a couple in nearby NJ)

I'm acquainted with a number of lovely folks in my general area who are either actively teaching bellydance classes or who are starting up new sessions in June. Unfortunately I do not have the time and financial resources to support them all directly myself, but I want to boost knowledge of them in some way. Hopefully some free advertising will be appreciated. Bellydance is awesome and if you've been curious about learning, you are lucky to have a very vibrant local community to start your journey (or experiment with a new style).

These listings are limited to classes within about an hour's drive from upper Bucks County and to teachers I either know personally, or who I have seen perform and have positive reputations. I also had to limit this list to teachers whose web presence regarding classes was fairly up-to-date. There's lots of ITS and Tribal-style classes to consider but unfortunately I could not locate many active Oriental/Cabaret style classes this time around (Amala Gameela is now in Hawaii, and I could not find current information to confirm if Suffiyah or Bridgette are teaching).

The information listed was gleaned from the dancer's/studio's respective websites but I still recommend confirming the information and registration process with them directly if you are interested.

If you are from the area and happen to know of other new or on-going classes, please let me know!

Desirée Cervidae

I've been studying the art of bellydance since 2006. I have background in both American Cabaret and Improvisational Tribal styles and appreciate both approaches. In addition to bellydance, I like to make pretty things including jewelry and art. The "cervidae" in Desirée Cervidae refers to my affinity with deer.

This blog follows my journey in learning bellydance: my triumphs, pitfalls, and everything in between. It will be a journal of my experiences, a collection of bellydance related reviews and recommendations, a gallery for my bellydance art and craft creations, and a place to post my own opinions on dance. It will also serve to highlight the local bellydance scene of Southeastern, PA and the surrounding area.
